A soft, lightly sweet keto cranberry cottage cheese bread made with pecans. Moist, sliceable, and balanced, not eggy, not dry, and not dessert-heavy. Perfect for breakfast, coffee, or a simple snack.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - sugar free
- 1.75 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup Swerve (granulated)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup cranberries
- 1/3 cup pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line or lightly grease an 8-inch loaf pan.
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoon butter, unsalted, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - sugar free
- Add the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt directly to the blender. Blend briefly until just combined.1.75 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup Swerve (granulated), 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fold in the cranberries and pecans by hand.2/3 cup cranberries, 1/3 cup pecans
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for 30–45 minutes, until the center is set and the internal temperature reaches 190–195°F (88–90°C).
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- This bread firms up as it cools. Slicing too early will make it seem softer than it actually is.
- The batter should be thick but pourable. If it feels overly stiff, add 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese at a time to loosen it.
- Covering the loaf during the first part of baking helps prevent overbrowning while allowing the center to cook through.
- Because of the cottage cheese base, this bread stays softer than traditional keto loaves, especially after freezing.
- Lightly toasting slices makes them easier to handle and brings out the pecan flavor.
- This bread also pairs well with my keto cranberry cottage cheese salad for a lightly sweet breakfast or holiday-style plate.
